“A spastic mess, an angry upchuck.”

ROTFLMAO!

Proud to say I did not see any of them, and only heard of half of them.

The reviewer should have seen Deadpool 2, it was quite entertaining.

As for Aquaman - these are movies based on comic books. Go into the theater with that in mind and you'll have fun. Compared to some leftist tract on the evils of America, it was not that bad - terrible acting and laughable story, but some great CGI.

I knew better and saw none exept Aquaman

No

>>10. Avengers: Infinity War. Okay, overall the film isn’t terrible. But that ending was just a waste of everyone’s time. It’s going to lead to the biggest “Never mind!” in movie history. It risks casting the whole Marvel universe under a cloak of absurdity in which nothing matters, and it’s the closest the Marvel series has come to a shark-jumping moment. If you want us to be emotionally invested in your story, don’t trifle with us like this.

They released this movie at the same time production of the third guardians of the galaxy movie was in the news. the “dead” characters clearly aren’t dead. It’s the equivalent of a 30-minute drama in which someone gets stage 4 cancer and is cured by the end.

Infinity War is essentially based on a major series from decades ago. They are not really playing with the audience.

Like it or hate it, I do not care, but the article mischaracterizes the studio’s intent.

Avengers: Infinity War, a comic book come to life. You spent $15 to see it.. Reading the comic book took months and possibly more than $15 to read when it was published.

Comic book readers knew when Thanos first appeared how part 2 would be resolved. But we wanted to see it anyway.

In Superman 1978 did you really think Lois would be gone for good?

In 1982s Wrath of Khan that Spock was gone for good?

Holmes & Watson Is Apparently So Terrible It Has a Zero Percent on Rotten Tomatoes

https://www.ign.com/articles/2018/12/26/holmes-watson-is-apparently-so-terrible-it-has-a-zero-percent-on-rotten-tomatoes

The Sony movie — which wasn’t screened for critics in advance of its Christmas Day release (never a good sign) — was eviscerated by all 20 of its counted reviews as of this article’s publication. Not a single film critic granted Holmes & Watson a positive review, which means it sits at zero percent rotten on Rotten Tomatoes.

“blockbuster bouillabaisse”

One of the best movie review snarks ever.

[Zathras]

They sank the Deadpool franchise.
I was shocked to see how bad DP2 was.
Avengers finally killed them off too.

[fwdude]

Never heard of any of these, except maybe Wrinkle.

8. Tag. A cute Wall Street Journal story about a group of middle-aged men who have an ongoing game of sneak-attack dating back to childhood was perfect for the A-hed column. But as so often happens, the studio didn’t detect the yawning chasm between “great newspaper story” and “great movie” until this effort was plunging to its box-office death. To make a nice story of friendship wacky and energetic enough for Jackass fans, the filmmakers upended the comedy-cliché dumpster, bringing in dumb slapstick, making Jeremy Renner’s character a sort of Matrix-time ninja, and trying to get laughs out of gay panic and even a suspected miscarriage.

I don't remember it that way.

In fact, I barely remember it all it.

There must have been some crummy, tasteless comedy in there, but the only thing that stays with you is the story of the friends playing their game of tag for years and years.

I'm not saying it was a great or even a good movie.

It was just typical - low typical - but not really the worst.

I see Moore’s mockumentaries, supposedly at the height of his career, in discount bins at Thift stores for less than a buck.
I would come back a month later and there it was thought.
Along with South Park and. Bill Cosby.

Still waiting for the Sequel to Sausage Party.

Apparently the reviewer has never read Marvel comic books - comic books in general specialize in "what if" story lines which get reset repeatedly.

If you're going to see a movie based on comic books, expect a script which follows standard comic book rules - I'm certain that none of the scripts for Marvel movies are the complete invention of screenwriters - all are based on actual comic book episodes.
